A natural generalizati on in dimension 4 of the question whether certain knots are isotopic to th e trivial knot is the concept of concordance\, another equivalence relatio n on the set of knots.\n \n We show that every non-trivial strongly quasipos itive knot is (smoothly) concordant to infinitely many pairwise non-isotop ic strongly quasipositive knots. In contrast to our result\, it was conjec tured by Baker that concordant strongly quasipositive fibered knots are is otopic. Our construction uses a satellite operation whose companion is a s lice knot with maximal Thurston-Bennequin number -1. In the talk\, we will define the relevant terms necessary to understand the theorem in the titl e\, and explain the context of this result. If time permits\, we will say a few words about how the construction extends to links.\n\nhttps://uqam.z oom.us/j/98999725241\n DTSTART:20221216T160000Z DTEND:20221216T170000Z SUMMARY:Paula Truöl\, ETH Zurich URL:/mathstat/channels/event/paula-truol-eth-zurich-34 4266 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
